"Are you awake? Nod if you can hear me," Chris said.
The crumpled-up body raised its head but didn't speak or nod. They didn't move either. Eventually, he saw them slither their way over to the bars. Chris saw it was a woman and that her hands and feet were bound. She moved her head so he could see the rag in her mouth. He didn't recognize her. He took a deep breath but he didn't smell a wolf.
"Who are you? I guess you can't answer me since there's a rag in your mouth. How about I ask yes or no questions and you just nod? It will pass the time at least."
She nodded and he asked, "Are you from around here?"
She nodded no and he said, "You don't smell like a wolf but you do smell of magic. Are you a witch?"
She nodded yes and he asked, "Were you captured by my father?"
